I have a Hilsen and I've used it for rambling, road riding, randonneuring, touring and bike camping. It's a nice all-rounder. Similar to your Sam but probably different enough to justify the Sam. Make one more roadish and one more ramblingish. It works really well for long road rides and randonneuring. Does okay on dirt and so so as a touring bike (shimmy). I say go for it.
I have a couple of bikes but have been yearning for a Sam lately to set-up with Albatross bars and use for around town rambles and commuting. The XL reach brakes are actually a plus as they're so easy to set-up and maintain and I'm really getting sick of dealing with the cantis on my commuter. --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
